CONDITION: Great vintage condition - there may be the smallest chip or even just an irregularity in the back side of the porcelain blank near the top prong. Not visible from the front or even the edge really. I didn't notice until inspecting my photos and even under 10x magnification it is questionable. Painted floral scene nicely intact and pin back in good working order

In an excellent state of preservation and should provide many more years of trusty service if it continues to be as cherished and well cared for in the future as it has been in the past

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, wear, color variances and/or discoloration. Most older pieces by nature normally are "Perfectly Imperfect" and have some degree of all - and unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned (especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos). These characteristics lend to the authenticity, look, and are part of the history and unique story that belongs to each and every piece. They should not only be expected, but embraced. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all and gauge for yourself, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
